ASTRO DESIGN CENTRE WELCOMES BOB GOULD AS NEW GENERAL MANAGER.

Astro donates Kitchen to aid mental health recovery at The Royal Ottawa

Having celebrated 20 years of business last year, Astro Design Centre wanted to give back to the community. When the opportunity to donate a new kitchen to the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre came up, Astro couldn’t pass it up. We looked forward to an opportunity to renovate the hospital’s existing tired and dated Occupational Therapy kitchen, where various programs at the hospital come to develop life skills, social skills and vocational skills for both in and out patients, who are referred to as clients. It was our hope that this bright and fun kitchen can become an uplifting and inspiring place for patients to gather, cook, interact and heal.

A family of five had evolved from two parents with small children, to five adults plus significant others, who often visited together for meals and conversation, and need to an update to their most used space.

When discussing a vision with the collaborating designers, the goals were to open the Kitchen to the Eating Area as well as Family Room beyond, add seating for informal entertaining and update the aesthetic to something more modern and elegant.
